His knowledge, firsthand experience and recognition in delivering and training others to achieve the highest level in service is acclaimed throughout the global luxury hospitality industry. His impressive career of working on board luxury cruise ships and superyachts for more than 20 years speaks for itself. Continually learning and developing his skills as he rose through the ranks, Peter’s time on board evolved from working as a butler and steward to overseeing fleet and event hospitality operations for Ultra High Net Worth Individuals. He has worked for some of the world’s most impressive motor yachts including MY Octopus, MY Lady Moura and MY Tatoosh. Peter has gone on to judge competitions as a panel member for MYBA and worked with the Professional Yachting Association (PYA) and Warsash Maritime Academy. He has also worked closely with the IAMI to create the GUEST program, putting in place maritime industry benchmarks for interior and hospitality standards and training. What sets Peter apart, however, is his business acumen. He is an inspirational leader with a natural affiliation to personal and professional development. Accredited to the Entrepreneurs Institute, he is qualified in commercial Leadership Training including Global Management and Performance Consultation. Peter works with people to identify their greatest strengths, establish balance to guarantee performance and to pinpoint where they naturally excel. Where others shy away from team politics, hierarchy, performance and job satisfaction, Peter sees the uniquely positive challenges they create to implement improvements. Through firsthand experience and qualifications both on board and in business management, he has created an inspirational tool, channel and system for improved hospitality as well as more efficient and productive team performance.

quirkshops

Newark-on-Trent

I deliver quirky, unusual art and craft workshops in a number of local crafting venues across Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire. I can also bring Quirkshops to any suitable venue and tailor the workshop to the specific needs of a client. The workshops typically last between 2 – 6 hours, occasionally more in-depth workshops may be held over a number of weeks. My background. I have always been creative but from an early age I had to choose between a scientific and artistic career. Having spent most of my childhood holidays in Devon with my head dangling over a pontoon staring into the green-blue depths and the curious creatures within, it seemed natural for me to study marine biology (you get the octopus logo now!). A convoluted route led me through a PhD studying marine neurotoxins to a career in Public Health for 18 years. But I always wanted to create. I took a year out and started to volunteer at a local community farm, FarmEco, a magical place with the most amazing people. That is where things fell together: connecting with nature, creativity and my desire to help people to improve their wellbeing. I can often be found at the farm, hands covered in charcoal or paint and looking windswept and with a smile on my face. Nature and wellbeing. I am passionate about the benefits to our wellbeing that creativity can bring and to combine this with immersing yourself in nature can be a powerful tonic. Many of my workshops take place entirely outdoors, spending time not just creating in but connecting with nature through simple practices which awaken the senses. By connecting with nature we develop a desire to care for nature and that is something we desperately need in this time of climate crisis. Workshops. The focus of the workshops is to nurture creative talent in everyone through a wide range of art and craft skills. The experiences are shared in a group but will be unique and personal (people won’t all produce the same thing at the end) and the process is every bit as important as the things that people produce.
